"My friends back home call me Toukhy, but on this side of the globe people can't pronounce it, so you can call me Marwan."

"I was born in the UAE, I grew up in the Greater Cairo suburbs in an area called Sheikh Zayed. Until I went to college, I wasn't sure what I am passionate about and what I wanted to do for the rest of my life - I always went with the flow. In college, I had the opportunity to try courses from a couple of different majors, and when I took a course related to Computer Science and Engineering, I instantly knew that that's what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I'm what you call a "tech guy", I keep up with all the new technology, phones, and laptops. Oh, and I am also into cars, especially the technologically advanced ones."
